Just Soph

“The combination of storytelling, music, drama, singing and props meant all children (and adults) were captivated

It was magnificently good, but my favourite part was when you got trapped in the whale.

Have you ever wondered how the Camel got his hump? Or how the Elephant got his trunk?

‘Just Soph’ is a high quality piece of theatrical storytelling created for children aged 3-7 and their families, adapted from Rudyard Kipling’s ‘The Just So Stories’.
